Apple Watch: Titanium vs Stainless vs Aluminum! - Which One to Buy? 

I opted for the Ti... pretty happy with it. It shows scratches like the stainless, but can be buffed out if you get the raw finish. SS was a bit on the heavier side for me since I'm very active and preferred the lighter weight. I upgraded from a SS series 5 to the series 7 Ti... although he sapphire crystal isn't pure, I prefer it over the scratch prone ion glass of the aluminum series.

I managed to pick up a second hand AS7 45mm in Stainless sliver for the same price as a new aluminum with cellular. Love the extra weight and ability to polish back to new.

I got the gold stainless steel 45 mm with milanese loop and its just amazing , the sapphire just makes it worth it for me

I once had a SS and found it far too heavy. I definitely noticed it was there, especially if I was active. Have been aluminum ever since but wanted something slightly dressier so just got the titanium. It arrives tomorrow :)

Thank you for a no-nonsense, short video that gets straight to the point, instead of stretching it out to 10+ mins of filler for more ad breaks. It's refreshing when creators make videos that are only as long as they need to be. Nice lighting, camera work and production values too. Based on your comparison and clear footage, I will be picking up a previous gen titanium watch to add to my collection.

Great video, very informative! Thanks for posting it. I just wanted to point out one quick thing which may help your viewers. The titanium comes with an extra year of warranty and an extra sport band. I didn’t hear it in the video, but if I missed it, my bad!

Such a great video, explained everything perfectly and no fluff. Thank you!

Thank you! This was super informative and exactly the content I needed!

Had a graphite ss series 6 and went to titanium space black. This thing is gorgeous. I don’t think I need to upgrade for a while.

I have stainless steel original 0 and 4 with a black ss , all second hand, all are great! The sapphire glass is so hard to scratch and in the rare event you get a scratch cheap diamond paste removes them same with the silver case, yes they scratch but are super easy to get out unlike aluminium

Nice video good sir. But I will say the SS comes in an additional 4th color option which is space black. It’s in the Hermes collection for a whopping 1400 depending on the band.

Thanks for the great comparison! I have the aluminum but definitely going for the silver stainless next time.

Just buy the one you can afford or feel like paying. Its not a lifetime purchase and you’ll end up trading it it or selling in 1 - 3 years, anyway.

Getting my first Apple Watch to go with my first apple phone Went with the SS and the iPhone 13 pro max. Thanks for the awesome video.

Stainless Steel for me if I ever upgrade from my Blue Series 6 Watch. The Stainless Steel versions are just so gorgeous.

i have the apple watch 6 stainless steel i work on big trucks for a living still looks new and it a year old i only take it off to weld or charge it tough watch

The Stainless Steel feels heavier when you’ve been used to the Aluminum, but over time I don’t notice it as much, but it is more prone to scratches for sure.

What is the best matching metal strap for the aluminium midnight case?

If they made better aluminum colors when I bought mine, I’m sure I would’ve gone for that one. I just hated the gold aluminum on the series 6 (the series I have) because it’s pink, not gold. The stainless steel one was definitely more than I was hoping to spend, especially for my first Apple Watch, but I don’t regret my decision! I absolutely love how classy and elegant it looks! Not to mention it’s actually a real gold color, unlike the past series that were bronze or rose gold. I wasn’t a fan of the other aluminum colors either, as they didn’t match my gold jewelry I always wear. Definitely worth the high price tag!

Which is better if you have a skin sensitivity to nickel?

The perfect comparison video. Good job bro 💯💪🏾

Do u have a link for the “Gucci” strap?

I love the titanium model. I´s so light and I bearly notice it while sleeping and just walking. It´s also very durable. If you don´t care about a bling bling case then go for it. Now they are at a good price! I got mine for 500 bucks.

Thank you so much for this video..!!

What about durability to sweat for athletes ?

I'm going to buy an apple watch is it better to buy apple watch 7 gps + cellular stainless steel or apple watch 8 gps + cellular aluminum? both are the same price here in europe!

Point is, i wanna know if i need any case, cause the safira cristal is strong enough and the titanium case wont get dents and ugly, i got the Apple Watch ultra

Got the starlight aluminum one love 💗 it so pretty and to keep it hopefully scratch free have screen protector on it it protects the screen as well as the sides too

I think you misspoke about the SE. The SE doesn't have the EKG and Blood Oxygen Saturation monitor components, but otherwise it's the same thing :)

If I have bucks to buy I will surely go for the titanium one 🙌🏽

Stainless steel 100% worth it. The hundo cheaper price point AND it looks good is great. I work retail, I hit my watch on literally everything from the hooks where bags go to the shelf around the till and when they need help bringing carts or need carry outs I am usually doing it and man that sapphire glass is so nice compared to the aluminum one. Still looks like new

In Australia an Apple Watch Series 7 titanium model starts at $1,199 for 41 mm and a 45 mm $1,269.00

i just got the series 8 45mm in SS (gold), can say it is very comfortable, love how it looks and feels. has a premium look to it (nice and shiny). ive seen a few reviews before purchasing and thought it would be heavy lol. i was used to wearing a 160g watch so this thing is so nice compared to that.

What is that strap bro? I think I might need one.

Few days ago I received my Apple Watch Series 7 Nike midnight aluminium 45mm it’s amazing

How is the battery life with cellular?

what Gucci store sells the Apple Watch bands?

Great video! Just to add, after watching tons of comparison videos, I can’t ignore how oversized the 45mm looks. It’s definitely off my ‘which one?’ list.

I got the titan 45 and my wrist only 130 but I absolutely love it , the 41 is hard to see for me , I don’t like the shiny stainless so I have to get titanium . Thank you for your vid !

i think i have a solution to the scratches on the stainless steel watch. You should ceramic coat it and it will be scratch proof and will not keep the water stains.

2:08 - “And it still looks brand new”. *Shows a pretty used and worn out apple watch* 😂

Material choice might be relevant for a watch you can keep for a very long time but considering this is a tech gadged that will be obsolete in like 4-5 years probably best to just get cheapest.

I had no idea I ordered the green i love it

Thanks a lot

Where can I get that gucci looking band?

At first I was leaning towards the gold stainless steel but I learned that it's not really a gold color at all, so then I was thinking black, and the titanium seems to be the only black one. I thought at that pricetag it would be more durable and not scratch as easily, but based on the comments here, that doesn't seem to be the case? So now I'm back to not knowing what to do. I hate silver but might have to go with stainless steel silver

What about Hermes space black

Loving my girly Starlight colour

Is that an iPad mini on your wrist?

The stainless steel looks the best out of them IMO but I'm rocking the galaxy watch 4 classic silver joint so my choice was a lot easier to make.

The SE does NOT have all the same bells and whistles - it does not have blood oxygen or the ECG or the fast charging.

Nice comparison pops 😎💯🇮🇪

I think aluminum is the best. They don’t look as flashy as the shinier ones, and they’re lightweight. Flashy isn’t bad, but it’s not a good idea to have an $800 watch on your wrist everywhere you go.. easy way to get robbed. The midnight aluminum one looks fancy but subtle, lightweight so it’s basically good for jogging and to go out

Does titanium Apple Watch scratches or not……… it can be used without any protection cases

I just bought my first Apple watch which is the aluminium one, the stainless steel one cost $500 more. Perhaps in a few years I’ll decide how the watch looks. My old watch which has a sapphire glass has no scratches on it. Also the Watch 7 aluminium is supposedly stronger than the model 6, I forget if that was shatter resistance or scratch resistance.

I live in Australia 🇦🇺 an Apple Watch Series 7 stainless steel starts at $1,049.00 for 40mm and 44mm $1,119.00

Great video. Ive had every single Apple Watch since they first landed. Stainless Steel has for the most part been my go to but this year - Series 7, I opted for the the Edition range in the Titanium. Have to say, the Titanium version is so so nice. All the benefits of the weight of Aluminium with the strength of the Stainless Steel. The fact you get an additional sport band in an exclusive colour for the Edition range along with the band you choose adds to the appeal. I also added the Stainless Steel Milanese loop and the matt finish Link Bracelet with it. Together they just look impressive. Overall with new watch face again exclusive to the Series 7 I’m very happy with this model. The Titanium for me looks the best out of the 3.

Stainless steel for me. Have been my favorite by far.

i do have product red, and one stainless version XD. Just because red doesnt fit anything.

Silver stainless steel is what I went with. I just love the finish

I don't know why you mentioned that your 6 year old stainless steel watch looks as new? I mean it had so many scratches! Though I believe that the scratches can be removed by polishing it with a metal polishing cream. Though this only works for the silver model as other ones are coated. Talking about other steel models, I have read online that they get scratched much less than the silver stainless steel because of the DLC coating on the case. So how has your experience been with the graphite stainless steel model in terms of scratches?

Apple needs to sapphire the Aluminum model. Outrageous price for the stainless.

Do video on your dream gaming setup room tour

I've had 2 stainless steel AWs, my most recent being the 4 series - SS w/ Cellular. Yeah it's slightly heavier than the AL but that doesn't bother me, feels more robust, and after a while you don't notice it. And I have a watch cover on it that goes around the watch to protect it from scratches. It's black - so doesn't really matter what color AW I get because I never take that cover off, and you cannot tell. I think the advantage for the Aluminum is not only cheaper, but the different colors. But if you protect it with a cover - that doesn't matter. I think I'll upgrade to the 7 series SS w/ Cellular

In Australia an apple series 7 stainless steel starts at $1,049.00 41mm and $1,119.00 45mm

In Luxembourg we don’t have a choice. We only have the gps only aluminum version

great review!!!!!

The subtitles on this video are crazy lol

Point is, do you need some extra exotic material on an electronic watch who’s prone to technical obsolescence? I would go with the stainless steel but why paying 200 bucks more for something that has a very limited lifespan? (4/5 years?)

Great video!! I like the Stainless Steel

The titanium looks like someone scratched the stainless version and tried to do a brush finish themselves in their garage.

I made the switch from stainless steal to titanium for my new series 7. in reality it’s only 50 bucks more than the stainless variant. That’s because you get a unique extra sport band for free. The lugs are in titanium and the color matches that of the watch perfectly. 😀 So if you can afford it - try the titanium if you like the finish of the material.

Just got a steal used apple watch 45mm titanium for 274 usd edit - series 6

I always get the aluminium Apple Watch because it’s lighter on my wrist and it’s cheaper

I Have The Apple Watch Series 6. Graphite Stainless Steel Edition. I’ll Never Go Back To An Aluminum Model Just For The Fact That It’s More Durable Than The Aluminum Model. You Get What You Pay For With The Apple Watch.

I live in brazil, so im buying the normal version. GPS alluminium

Titanium cool but Aluminum also FAB.

I have aluminum

Yes the Titanium cost $100 more than SS but you also get an extra $49 exclusive watch band so ummmm its really only $50 more.

When the heck did they start making titanium watches??? Where have I been

I actually like the titanium

I would only keep the watch for 3 years at most. The $300 I save by buying the aluminum is a huge down payment on my next watch. It doesn't make sense to pay more than you need to for a 3 year investment.

Personally feel like the titanium is the classiest looking. I will stick with the aluminum though, cause I’m going to put a bumper on it anyway. I work with my hands and lift weights several times a week. Plus when I see people with the more expensive ones they’re usually people with soft, non working hands and I’m not that guy 😂

All about the stainless steel. Never buying aluminum again. Stainless steel is so elegant.

what the ..u used 6 watch for six years? @2:22

Titanium >>> aluminium >>>> stainless steel

Titanium is quite beautiful imo, it looks a lot better in real life

2:54

If you're going to do a comparison, compare silver with silver...

So titanium is more pricey compared to stainless steel? Wow..

The stainless steel is toooo expensive for me .

In Australia 🇦🇺 an Apple Watch Series 7 Aluminium starts at $599 41mm and 45mm $649.00

I got the aluminum series Apple Watch series 6 my first Apple watch I'm not going to get the Apple watch 7 or 8 sorry Apple

The aluminium case is $700 cheaper!

Man everything past aluminum is such a scam lol

A

You should get the smaller size bro. These are way too big on your wrist.

I can buy a android mobile phone in the price of apple watch 😅

I got Titanium series here in Australia costing $1399

Stainless steel looks and feels the best by a country mile. Titanium and aluminium look really s*it lol
